You're stronger
than your lifts show.
On every press, every pull, you clench, and that clench is leaking force you could be using. AIRWAAV captures it and turns it into more output, in a mouthpiece low-profile enough to forget you're wearing it.

As seen in
Your jaw is part of your lift, whether you're using it or not.
Deadlifts, log, frame, yoke. Some lifters bite down hard on every one of them; most never think about their jaw at all. Either way, a clench is one of the most overlooked ways to brace and drive, and without full molar contact you only get a fraction of the effect, if any.

Your bite
An incomplete clench means you're firing only part of the force your nervous system can actually send.
Clenching helps. Clenching on AIRWAAV helps more.
There's a peer-reviewed phenomenon called concurrent activation potentiation: a maximal jaw clench sends a surge of neural drive that overflows into the muscles doing the work, recruiting more motor units, faster, for more force exactly when you need it.
1
Full molar contact
The patented bite plate is engineered so every tooth, especially your back molars, makes full, even contact when you clench.
2
Greater neural drive
That complete clench accelerates your neuromuscular response, sending a stronger signal to the muscles doing the lift.
3
More force output
More motor units firing means more force and a better shot at grinding through your sticking point.
Why the bite plate is the whole thing.
For most people, biting down is front-loaded and uneven, and the back molars barely touch. AIRWAAV's bite plate was engineered through 15+ years of research and dozens of iterations so your whole bite makes contact at once. That complete, even clench is what drives the effect.
Watch the clench fire faster.
A hard clench on AIRWAAV speeds up the signal from your nervous system to the muscles doing the work. This is the mechanism in motion.
Built for athletes who moveve seen it on the floor
You'll forget it's even in.
Strongman isn't standing still under a bar. You're running a yoke, carrying a frame, moving down a platform. A big, blocky mouthpiece that's tolerable on a static lift becomes a gagging nuisance the second you move and breathe hard. It's why so many athletes quit the ones they tried before.
AIRWAAV is low-profile, built from a patented material that sits close to your bottom teeth and stays out of your way through a full event. You get the force of a hard clench without a brick in your mouth.
Why not just grab a mouthguard from the store?
A boil-and-bite from the drugstore is built to protect your teeth, not to drive force, and the bulky mouthpieces that came before AIRWAAV had no research behind them. AIRWAAV was engineered from the bite up for full, even tooth contact, and it's backed by 15+ years of peer-reviewed work.

When AIRWAAV came to strongman, athletes switched for a reason.
The strongest men on earth train with it.
"You invest your time in training, using a simple tool to get the most out of your investment is a no brainer. The research speaks for itself - if you want to be the strongest version of yourself, an AIRWAAV mouthpiece will get you there faster."
Mitchell Hooper
2x World's Strongest Man
"The AIRWAAV mouthpiece helps me breathe efficiently under stress, giving me more oxygen, less fatigue, and sharper performance when it counts."
Tom Stoltman
3x World's Strongest Man
"Something that drove me to AIRWAAV was the smaller fit compared to other mouthpieces. It helps me during moving events to get more air in but still have something to bite into."
Bryce Johnson
Elite professional strongman
"If you are looking for a tool to help with bracing to maximize strength along with increased airflow to maximize recovery, then AIRWAAV is the tool you need."
Tom Evans
Elite professional strongman

15+ years of peer-reviewed work. Not marketing.
The mouthpieces that came before AIRWAAV made big claims with nothing behind them. AIRWAAV was developed with Dr. Dena Garner, a leading researcher in muscle physiology and airway performance at The Citadel, across 15+ years of peer-reviewed studies. The force effect of jaw clenching is published science.
Force & RFD
Peer-reviewed research found that maximal jaw clenching improved peak force and rate of force development during an isometric pull. That's force off the floor and a stronger lockout.
50%
lower cortisol
In a peer-reviewed study, mouthpiece use reduced post-exercise cortisol by up to 50%. A lower stress response means better recovery between heavy events and across a hard training block.

Your teeth will thank you, too.
When you grit down on a max event, there's a barrier between your teeth taking the load instead of grinding enamel on enamel. Most athletes don't buy it for this. It's just a good reason to keep it in.
PX1 or PX2? The difference, simply.
Same patented bite plate, two fits. It comes down to how locked-in you want it to feel. You can switch or grab both in the cart.
PX1 · Open fit
Lighter, breathe-first feel.
An open bite channel that sits light in your mouth. Easiest to talk and breathe around, and the most natural for high-volume conditioning and mixed-modal work. If you're new to a mouthpiece or you mostly chase your engine, start here. Most athletes do.
PX2 · Locked-in
Snug, stays put when you clench hard.
A tighter, fuller fit that holds when you bite down on a heavy clean, snatch, or grind. If you love the feeling of clenching into something solid on the barbell, the PX2 gives you more to bite. Many athletes keep both and pick by the workout.
Want both? The Hybrid Pack includes a PX1 and a PX2 at a discount.

Questions lifters ask first.
I've tried a mouthpiece before and hated it. How is this different?
The mouthpieces that came before were big and blocky, and a lot of athletes gagged on them the moment they started moving. AIRWAAV is low-profile and built from a patented material that sits close to your bottom teeth, so it stays out of your way through a full event. Most athletes forget it's in.
PX1 or PX2 for strongman?
Most strongmen prefer the PX2. It's the snug, locked-in fit that holds when you grit down on a max pull or heavy press. PX1 is a lighter, more open fit. Start with PX2 for heavy events; you can switch or get both in the cart.
Will it get in the way on moving events?
No. It's low-profile by design, so it stays comfortable through a yoke run, a frame carry, or a long medley. That low profile is the main reason athletes switched to it from bulkier mouthpieces.
Is there really research behind it?
Yes. AIRWAAV was developed with Dr. Dena Garner across 15+ years of peer-reviewed studies on jaw clenching, force, and cortisol. The other mouthpieces in the sport don't have that.
How do I fit it?
Heat it, bite to mold it to your teeth, and it's ready the same day. No dentist, no impression kit, just a few minutes start to finish. Every mouthpiece ships with a QR code that takes you straight to the step-by-step fitting video, so you can follow along and get it right the first time.
Does it actually protect my teeth?
It adds a barrier between your teeth when you clench under heavy load, which many athletes find eases the jaw and tooth strain of grinding events. We don't position it as a dental guarantee, but it's a benefit athletes mention often.
Clench on what the champions clench on.
Turn the clench you already do into more force on every event, in a mouthpiece low-profile enough to forget. Mold it tonight.
